The meeting also identified the key challenges and opportunities for the project's successful implementation.

The SESA project is expected to benefit professionals in the energy sector, policymakers, and other stakeholders across Southern Africa. The planning meeting provided an opportunity for participants to share their experiences, insights, and perspectives on the project's implementation, and to identify ways to ensure its success.

The KGRTC, ILO, and ITCILO are committed to working together to promote skills development and capacity-building in the energy sector across Southern Africa. The planning meeting is a crucial step towards the successful implementation of the SESA project and achieving its objectives.
